I love these Saturday pics. I wish I could do the same thing, but my family kept very few photos. That is probably why I'm so fascinated with these Saturday family albums of yours. I'm also adopted and it's amazing to see a family with generations to look back on. Thanks for sharing with me. Ms EM at www.goodmemoriescafe.blogspot.com
I love those old photos! We lost all our photos in Indonesia,but fortunately my mum had sent many photos to all our relatives in the Netherlands. So we got them back after the war when we returned to this country.
At one time in my life I used to attend estate sales quite frequently. What was amazing to me is that many times the family did not take the old photos. Isn't it wonderful that you have your old family photos. barbara
This album is a treasure -- and it's falling apart. I need to scan it and get it on a disk.
I'm fortunate in having so many family pictures around but I find I have to ration my viewing -- too much makes me sad for all that's over. It can be a bit overwhelming,

I'm the author of The Elizabeth Goodweather Appalachian Mysteries from Bantam Dell. The series includes SIGNS IN THE BLOOD (LA MONTAGNE DES SECRETS in France), ART'S BLOOD, (LE SECRET DES APPALACHES in France,) OLD WOUNDS,IN A DARK SEASON (Anthony Nominee, Best PBO), and UNDER THE SKIN. There's also THE DAY OF SMALL THINGS (a spinoff/standalone)chronicling the unexpected life story of Miss Birdie, one of Elizabeth's neighbors.
I came to this weird business late (my first novel was published in 2005) and am still trying to figure it out.
As my novels are set in a place much like my real life home, I thought I'd use this blog to share pictures of our farm and county. I've been blogging for over four years now, on an almost daily basis, and the topics have ranged from writing, chickens, food, books, quilts, flora and fauna of all sorts, to the occasional tiny rant. There's no plan, but there are lots of pictures.
There's more information about me and my books on my web site: http://vickilanemysteries.com/

These old pictures always make me feel like the world was a happier place 'way back when". You really have some great treasures Vicki!
my those are precious
I suspect your grandma was detailed in everything she did
what a lineage
Well, sometimes we complain when there isn't enough detail in the family records. Your grandmother certainly didn't disappoint there, did she?
I particularly like the shot with Chicago in the background. Very special photographs, indeed.

What wonderful photographs! I wonder how many of today's digital photo albums will be around that long?
I love all the clothes - a lovely glimpse of the past.

Wonderful to have the old pics and the details too! In today's world-most kids have to go to the computer to see their pics : )
